The Bible writers believed that the wicked would be raised at the second resurrection, also known as the resurrection to damnation, which occurs 1000y years after the resurrection to (live at the second coming). They believed that the wicked would receive their judgment and then be destroyed by hellfire. Many Christians today believe that this Hell Fire will last forever and the wicked will be eternally tormented in pain and anguish, but this is not what the early believers knew to be the case. There have been some misunderstood verses which have led people to this conclusion, so the only way to determine the correct meaning is to check all the relevant verses and line up the fence post. The Bible doesn't not contradict itself, so if the verses don't all seem to be in agreement, then we must look to see what the majority say clearly, to check which ones we have misunderstood. Matthew 25:41; John 3:16 One verse seems to be saying that the wicked will live forever in everlasting fire and yet the other verses tells us that only those who belong to Jesus will get everlasting life. If only the true followers live forever then this means that wicked will perish. The logical conclusion then is that the everlasting fire is not actually fire that is burning forever, but rather fire which consumes with everlasting consequences. It can also be called unquenched fire, which means it will be allowed to burn until it is all burnt out. There are over 50 other places in the Bible where it used the word forever, but the event mentioned has finished. Just as today we often loosely use the word forever, such as ''I took forever to get out of the shop" or "that lecture went on forever", these similar types of expression were also used in the Bible for events that lasted a long time, but not actually eternally and also for events that had everlasting consequences. For example the Bible describes the fire that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah as eternal fire. Jude 1:7 This fire is not still burning today. It had eternal consequences as the cities were forever destroyed and the fire was not extinguished or quenched by anyone. This fire was allowed to burn until it had consumed everything away and then it went out. Post Reply

Then Pipi tries to deploy another flawed argument that assumes that not every “forever” mention in the Bible is really intended to mean “forever”. But Pipi’s ubiquitous ignorance manifests itself once again (becoming a regular occurrence). He doesn’t seem to understand that the contextual underpinnings (clues) surrounding a term define its contextual meaning Post Reply
